Please Bring Back Poll Section in IMDb Home Page

​Dear IMDb Editors,​

​Please bring back the separate poll section in the IMDb Home Page like we used to have at least couple of years ago.​

​🔰Example​​:​

​ ​ ​ ​
From last two years the polls are getting featured under "Editor's Picks" section and that too at #3 slide.
🔰Slide#1​​ ​
​ ​ ​ ​
​ ​
​ ​ ​ ​
​ ​
​🔰Slide#2​​
​ ​ ​ ​
​ ​
​ ​ ​ ​
​ ​
​🔰Slide#3​​
​ ​ ​ ​
​ ​
​ ​ ​ ​
​ ​
🔰Problems We Are Facing:​​ ​
​ ​ ​ ​
✅1. Poor engagement. After 4-5 days being featured in the home page a poll gets hardly 500 votes. ​
✅2. Huge drop in the number of regular poll voters as a result of poor engagement. ​
✅3. Huge drop in the average number of votes per poll. ​
✅4. New poll authors facing extreme difficulty to earn Poll Maker badge because earning 1,000 votes under this new system is so difficult that 100,000 votes seems like a dream to them, which has no guarantee of fulfillment in near future. ​
I have been a part of this community since 2014. I have seen new users getting Poll Author badge (100,000 votes) in 3-4 months after started making polls. ​
I think it will be interesting if IMDb Editors bring back the separate section for polls in the home page like we used to have or at least put the poll section at #1 slide on the "Editor's Choice" column. ​
It will be interesting for users, poll authors, voters. Poll authors at least deserve to get some good amount engagement after days of hard work put into making that poll which is ultimately selected by Editors from a wide number of published polls. ​
Thank you. ​

DC

Vote up this post if you would like

to see more user polls featured in the IMDb.com home page.

This would drive more votes and interaction to the polls and help keep them interesting.

The homepage poll should have a space of it's own like the old days. Polls used to gather 15.000 votes and now 1.300 most. Someone's got to do something about it.

What Amazon is missing here is that it is an excellent marketing tool. Some folks will be exposed to a title they are not familiar with, and actually rent that title making them money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Paok_Kilkis Indeed. It was terrible for the polls visibility to remove them from the homepage, it is a decission I'll hope to see corrected everyday.

@K_PAXTON Indeed, each poll could be a treasure of marketing data about movie preferences and the more visibility the better.

I'll give people in the Poll section a chance to vote, then I'll probably move this to the IMDb.com section so it may be seen by other eyes.

Pibby I posted it under IMDb.com subcategory, should I change the subcategory to IMDb Poll?

My other post related to Mobile Version Poll Page is posted under IMDb.com subcategory.

It's probably best to keep it in the IMDb.com category so it isn't mixed with the poll suggestions.
